EXIMYug / CASE STUDIES / CASE 07
CASE 07 · Freight / bank cost leakage

Small freight and bank charges were eroding margin across hundreds of shipments

A Client · Leather-goods exporter · Multi-market. No single invoice looked serious; the portfolio leakage was.

THE CHALLENGE

Freight / bank cost leakage

No single invoice looked serious; the portfolio leakage was.

VALUE / EXPOSURE₹17.9 L annualized
EXPECTED TIMELINE30–60 days
MARKETMulti-market

Constraints

  • Hundreds of low-value variances
  • Rate cards, quotes and invoices used inconsistent labels
  • Bank charges and freight surcharges were reviewed separately
  • Manual checking cost more than many individual errors

SOLUTION DESIGN

What EXIMYug does

A normalized charge ledger identifies recurring variance patterns and ranks them by annualized ₹ impact rather than invoice count.

01 · OUTCOMES

Operational outcomes

  • Leakage ranked by annualized impact
  • Repeat surcharge patterns isolated
  • Vendor/bank challenge packs created
  • Portfolio control thresholds established
02 · GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE

Government workflow

Applicable GST/tax and export-document treatment must remain consistent with transaction records.

03 · REGULATORY

Regulatory considerations

Bank tariff/contract terms, freight quotations, carrier/forwarder invoices and applicable tax documentation.

04 · LEGAL

Legal / authority boundary

Recovery depends on contractual billing terms and evidence; disputed commercial charges may require escalation.

END STATE + IMPACT

Realized export margin after controllable logistics and banking charges

The case is managed toward a measurable end state, with unresolved authority decisions explicitly separated from work EXIMYug can execute or coordinate.

IMPACT 01Higher realized margin
IMPACT 02Fewer repeat billing variances
IMPACT 03Automated exception focus instead of manual invoice review

Case outcome values describe the operating end-state model and measurement framework; actual recoveries, approvals and timelines depend on transaction evidence and decisions by the relevant buyer, bank, insurer, carrier or authority.
